A nine member jury of 5 women and 4 men have been selected for the murder trial of Dominican Sherman Webb, who is charged with the killing of Barbadian Corey Rohan Poleon.
Dominica police had confirmed that skeletal remains that were found in Elmshall were that of Poleon who at that time was an employee of a Bridgetown bank, and was in the final year of studies at the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill Campus.
Webb was charged with killing Poleon between August 31, 2009 and March 18, 2010.
Dominican detectives had traveled to Barbados to secure data about the 23-year-old Poleon’s medical history and dental records to positively identify the remains.
Poleon of St. Lucy, Barbados is believed to have been the victim of a gruesome killing that involved a satanic ritual.
Investigators reportedly found several bits of paraphernalia related to some form of satanic ritual at the suspect’s home.
The state’s case is being prosecuted by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Gene Pestaina assisted by State attorney Arthlyn Nesty.
Attorney Peter Alleyne is defending Webb.
Justice Bernice Stephenson Brookes is the presiding Judge.
She gave a stern warning to the jury and the media about their role in the trial.
The judge warned that proceedings of the trial should not be reported “verbatim” by the media, and cautioned the jury about discussing the matter with anyone but their peers.
Is that am finding there ,Who is they ?
Dominicans are so funny..guaranteed to have a good laugh by reading those comments
@ Patience
This is no laugh. They provide their comments. This man has murdered another and it is no laughing matter.
could someone tell me how he was murdered please….
what part of cutlass you did not understand,read again or stay lost.
@ LOST
Keep reading and use your intelligence if you have any. The article clearly stated he murdered the other. You will hear more on this case.
You all ppl are so rude at times. Lost asked a valid question as this article in particular did not mention how he was murdered but stated it was part of a gruesome satanic ritual.
Pft, layoff a bit and stop being ready to war. Maybe its that mentality that led this freak to do what he did. In barbados he would never walk not even if Andrew Pilgrim defended him
If any case cries out for the death penalty, this one is it.
What is the purpose of keeping this guy alive for? Mister obviously is a danger to society and cannot be let loose on the public any more, then why pay for lodging, food, clothing, medical, and entertainment for this guy for the rest of his life? Give him the death penalty and wash away his transgressions from the land.
Anyways parents speak to your children; the wages of sin is death, period. That new kind of lifestyle that is being beemed all over the globe, has its consequences. Everybody and their nenen ‘coming out’ them season there like this is the latest fad. There will be hell to pay; we always always reap what we sow.
Though no one deserves to be taken out like this, but their is no doubt that his lifestyle (the new fad) led him directly to that monster and ended up in his demise. Parents caution your impressionable young ones.
Anyways take that demon out of circulation, execute him. There should be no crime in ‘murdering’ a murderer for the crime of murder.
The state’s case is being prosecuted by Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Gene Pestaina assisted by State attorney Arthlyn Nesty. With Gene Pestina as public Prosecutor, that case is a done deal. The killer will be set free just like how Sarah Lynn Augustine did. Why will the govt not send Pestina on retirement???
Mister will get away easy. All his lawyer have to argue is insanity. He can even use postpartum depression if he want. lmfao.
Its like the woman who stabbed her two babies to death and got away easy. She stabbed her five year old child 45 times and her two month old baby 31 times. Imagine a little two months old baby stabbed 31 times.
And yet she got away and is living like she just killed two mosquitos on the bathroom wall. SMH
So I expect to see this fellah posting pictures of food on his Facebook wall soon.
The justice system in Dominica SUCK big time.
?Dominican dectectives”? Thats news to me.
News…to me :D
Get it?
Jaming you so clever lol
This young man even have Lawyer defending him? MY GOD!
that is the same thing i just there thinking uno, and ws gonna say… WHAT HE GOING TO DEFEND NUH?!!
I want to know me myself
@ Diamond
At the expense of Dominican taxpayers.
Please reinstate death by hanging. I don’t care what the Mercy Committee and religious leaders have to say. Hang him! And hang him soon!
NO MAN! that too merciful! giv him a slow, excrutiating death by electrocution using a low voltage. That way he will suffer long before dying.
Mister does not have a heart. Can some one tell me what the law should do with mister?
WHY KILLED SOMEOME’S CHILD AND LET HIS BODY ROT
IN THE BUSH LIKE AN ANIMAL. WHAT KIND OF HUMAN BEING WOULD DO SUCH A WICKED ACT. I CAN FEEL HIS
MOTHER ANGUISH.
JUSTICE FOR COREY POLEON!!! THIS CRIME IS UTTERLY HORRIFIC. THE SUSPECT SHOWED NO REMORSE FOR WHAT HE DID. IT’S LIKE HE MOCKS THE JUSTICE SYSTEM OF DOMINICA. VILE, EVIL AND WICKED….
he deserve life in prison without parole sorry u do the crime u do the time.Community shouldnot tolerate such behaviour, who knows what else he got away with just happen to get caught on this one.
Lock him away from society.
It is so sad and upsetting to read this that a young man lost his life and in such a manner. There are some people, even at a young age who sell their soul to the devil. Shocking that it could happen in Dominica and one so young could indulge in this evil ritual. His heart must be made of stone.
Satan really find some mischief and evil for idle hands to do. Was he not baptized? Did he not go to church and pray? He stooped very low to do such a thing to another human being and for the sake of Satan, the enemy of God and of our souls and worshipping Him? This man has a severe mortal and spiritual problem. The devil has his soul.
If he does not sincerely repent to God, worship Him, pray, make penance, sacrifice and some degree of restitution to appease Him, when he dies he will regret it eternally.
God is love, compassionate, merciful and forgiving. This type of murder will take much on this man’s part to please God and to be forgiven. This is the way the ball rolls for the wicked of heart, mind and soul.
What I find disturbing is how many other victims are there? This man has probably been doing these crimes for a long time?
Innocent until proven guilty! It’s the law.
But wait….don’t tell me … Attorney Peter Alleyne gon win that lavabo DPP who is going to quote some ‘finding’ that the defendant is insane and discontinue the case? Just thinking loud.
that man should be punished and sent to jail for life because if he stay out he can do it again we dont need that in dominica god protect our country by these types of people !!!!
well there has been to many killin and man just face little bit of jail with eatin sweet drinkin sweet and still sleepin sweet so wat u think is goin to happen i think it time we make every man or woman pay for wat they do
Boy, that is a dangerous combination there wee; satanism and homosexuality.
Nothing good could have come out of that man. I hope the courts squeeze mister real hard. He is a danger to society.
I remember reading this story in the paper while in Dominica; it brought tears to my eyes! This Sherman Webb guy is a monster, and I don’t care how “mental” he is, or claims to be; what he did to this kid is beyond evil, and the judge and jury should give him the stiffest sentence!
wasn’t there another story involving that sherman webb person?
just asking , please enlighten me someone
We all no that this young man family is not gonna get any justice. A 10yrs sentence and will be released in 5yrs time.so so not fair.harder punishments needs to be implemented.
that man should never come out again because if he dose he will do it again
He is already gone but only a mother would kno that kind of pain.
So true…alas, we have no executions in Dominica.
i hope that the family of this young man will get justice for their son. may God give them strength in their time of grief
@ Meline
It is too bad Dominica does not have capital punishment. He deserves it. Otherwise life imprisonment with no parole.
they look sick to me
Who is “they”?
